Laura Ashley Hotel

LAURA ASHLEY HOTEL

Lake windermere 

I just simply had to do a post about this gem in the lake district. It was only renovated last July so it still has this new shiny feel about it.  When I was originally looking at hotels  It took me around a good six hours to actually find a nice place that offered breakfast that I liked, In the end I opted for the reviews on trip advisor which lead me to believe this place was exactly what I wanted, and it turned out to be better.  Unfortunately for john who was happy with any hotel, I was more picky. I like to be organised so I looked at location, costs, reviews etc You may call it boring I call it being prepared.

 This isn't a hotel if you are on a budget and visiting the lake district. We stayed two nights and it was about £500 easy. Worth every penny in my eyes as it was gorgeous. 

The laura ashley hotel is beautiful, It is a little bit of the old mixed in with the new. So you have the original Belsfield building, yet the reception is completely glass so you walk through and can see out to the lake.

Really quite something, no? Last time I stayed at Lake District it was on a lodge next to a river, it was still nice and homey just not as chic as this weekend getaway turned out to be.

We ended up having two rooms on our stay here (Lucky us) , The first was a normal double with lake view, Then we got the four poster suite thanks to an issue we had. Here as some snaps from the lobby/drawing rooms and bar areas. 

The hotel itself has two resultants one bistro, the other a more posh a la carte menu restaurant. 

Another great thing about this place is that every single room of the 160 rooms they offer is all Laura Ashley decorated. Also means that no two rooms are the same. I love that, I love that every detail has been thought of. The first room we stayed in was beautiful lovely colour schemes and lights, I would adore my room with that wallpaper it was perfect if you like stylish, but liveable comfy. 

THE ROOMS 

 The second room seemed to be more 'grown up' a lot more dark wood, with a lot of lighting we counted six lamps in one room a little overboard but I like it. 

The double wardrobe 

The large bathroom 

The best bath ever, and space to put the champagne glasses. One had to think of these things. 

This is a short post due to time. I do highly recommend this hotel however. 

For a lovely weekend getaway. You will no doubt had to check out this place.

April days - A collection of pictures.

Most of April in Pictures. 

This has been a hectic month for me, Lots has happened. I've moved out of my beloved flat, I saw most of france. I finally got to see the eiffel Tower and Found out another sister is expecting. 

Yet, I feel like this whole year has gone fast so soon. It will be June in a month or so, Than before you know it December. Makes you think how quick life does actually pass us by. 

This was taken in Oleans, France Outside one of the Abbeys we went too, The line of the trees and lamps the whole building itself was magical. 

This was Dylans (nephew) idea of fun, seeing how many stickers he could put on me! 

Dylans innocent face! 

I did this girls hair last month but forgot to post a picture, How nice it this thou?

Little roos face when I let him in the car, He scooted up to the front of the seat to pretend he was driving! He balled his eyes out when I had to take him out! I just love this picture! 

 When I had to pack everything up last week to move out! It is an end of an era for me, I have had so many memories in that flat, both bad and good. 

Beautiful haper, Have you ever met a little girl more photogenic? 

My new room, and the tulips I ended up buying for myself.

Both of these pictures I took while walking down a street in Paris, The buildings there itself where beautiful. 

My room at the hotel I stayed in, In Vouvray, France. 

This fairy tale like house I came across in boussac, france while walking around. 

Me slightly happy waiting to go on the euro tunnel. 

My mum and me outside the eiffel tower. 

This is my favourite me in the museum, Oleans France.
